The COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in government strategies, partnerships, and supply chain diversification. India wants to be an integral part of global supply chains and the country has fast-tracked the process of negotiating trade agreements with strategic trading partners like Australia, Canada, the European Union and the United Kingdom. Greater market access for alcoholic beverages is a key component of these trade negotiations. The Indian market for alcoholic beverages is growing and Indian consumers are willing to experiment with a diverse range of products, including different varieties of wines. Until recently, India had kept alcoholic beverages in its negative list for tariff reduction under its trade agreements, primarily to protect its domestic industry. The country had imposed a tariff plus cess of 150 percent on alcoholic beverages, which is one of the highest in the world. In April 2022, India and Australia signed an Interim Economic Co-operation and Trade Agreement, and India for the first-time liberalised wines under this agreement. This report studied the scope for liberalisation of tariffs in wines and the scope for removal of non-tariff barriers under the India-Australia trade agreement. It not only investigated different aspects of trade, like tariffs, standards and other non-tariff measures, trade facilitation and logistics in the context of a trade agreement, it also examined how a sector can be liberalised under a trade agreement so that both sides benefit from it. Besides, it sets a framework for tariff liberalisation under different scenarios. The objective of this report is to enhance knowledge about trade agreements and how they can be negotiated to facilitate business-to-business collaboration, especially among small and medium enterprises. This report will help policymakers negotiate trade agreements, sector experts to provide inputs into trade negotiations and scholars to understand the nuances and complexities of negotiating a trade agreement.
